In 444 AD Dioscorus I becomes Pope following the death of Cyril of Alexandria. Like his forerunner Cyril, Dioscorus opposed the christology of Nestorius. Nestorianism emphasizes a distinction between the human and divine natures of Christ, thus creating a dichotomy of "persons" rather than a unity of two natures. Dioscorus is later exiled for violations of canon law performed during the Second Council of Ephesus.
